Celtic Manor – Twenty Ten

Built to stage The Ryder Cup in 2010, the course opened for play in July 2007. The first course to be built specifically for golf’s greatest team tournament, it measures a robust 7,493 yards off the back tees and has a par of 71.

With water hazards on half of its holes, the course has six signature holes and presents many more memorable tests and risk-and-reward dilemmas. One of the features of the spectacular new course is its variety with many of the earlier holes having a links-like feel with some long rough and greenside swales, before the middle section of the course reveals the full extent of the lake-lined challenge.A tough finishing stretch culminates in a real sting in the tail at the 18th.
